While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddie
But when I do, I don't follow through
'Cause my heart belongs to daddy
If I invite a boy some night
To dine on my fine finnan haddie
I just adore his asking for more
But my heart belongs to daddy
Yes, my heart belongs to daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to daddy
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know you're perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to daddy
'Cause my daddy he treats it so well
St. Patrick's day, although I may
Be seen wearing green with a paddie
I'm always sharp when playing the harp
My heart belongs to daddy
Though other dames at football games
May long for a strong undergraddie
I never dream of making the team
My heart belongs to daddy
Yes, my heart belongs to daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to daddy
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
So I want to warn you, laddie
Though I know you're perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to daddy
'Cause my daddy he treats it so well
